83% increase from what? last week?

 

the 245% increase was in reference to last years black friday week, which was 87k....so the 174k is almost exactly a 100% increase (or doubling).

A) The E-Mail specifically states PS3, not playstation family

B) You don't know what they're announcing. Could be, could not be... We don't know

C) Uh... duh? That's PR 101, use good numbers and percents... Point?

D) Um... PSP in Japan, after the slim and Crisis Core came out?

E) Umm... this site is only 10,000 strong. There are over 340 million americans. This sit counts for less than .001 percent of the population. And all members aren't American.


While your point still stands, the 300 millionth American was born last summer. As such, I find it very hard to believe that we've had 40+ million babies since.

 He may be referring to Canadians as well I mean they do technically reside in North America :)

^^^ Thank you, I meant All of north america. That's why I didn't say U.S.A.



I thought Canada had a lot more than 40 million....i mean i know it is relatively sparsely populated but then it is the second largest country by area after Russia.



Are you guys really losing that much sleep over this? It's a freakin' number.



It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

I don't see any reason why the PS3 can't have an increase this big with the price down and some nice bundles available.

 

add in the holidays as well.

 Exactly, 'tis the season to be... fluttering cash about after all! The merriment is all but gone, but MAN do people spend!

Except fot the fact that I guess it didn't actually happen unless VGchartz is undertracking it.
